👊 UFC FIGHT NIGHT ---> MACHIDA VS. ANDERS - SUNDAY FEB. 4, 2018 - BRAZIL👊

A few more days until this event starts, its a cool event with some relatively big names on the MMA scene. Kinda sure most fans know who Lyoto Machida is, the dragon is back again after a 3 fight losing streak the last being a KO loss to Derek Brunson who also just lost last weekend to Jacare Souza. The former light heavyweight champ recently said he still got the death touch. We saw some amazing stuff in the past, but all good things end one day. The dragon had some issues with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency - USADA as he failed a PED test and was put on the shelf for about a year or so. Being out of action that long puts a toll on almost any fighter.

We saw time and time again how veterans school some new kid on the block, all hype vanishes in a heartbeat. Eryk Anders is an American professional mixed martial artist competing in the middleweight division and a former college football player for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Has two fight in the UFC octagon, debut VS Rafael Natal -WON by KO. Plus VS Markus Perez where a decision (Unanimous) had to do it. Eryk is also known as "YA BOY", lolz, has a 60% finish ratio, undefeated as a PRO, let us not forget - age plays a role in this sport. Its a young man's game that's just me being real.

Anders began his mixed martial arts career in 2012 as an amateur, participating in 22 amateur bouts. Most folks jump into big league as soon as possible. In this case, it looks like he wanted to polish all skills to its finest before stepping up in competition. Testing yourself slowly is probably always the right way in my opinion.

We can expect it for sure, both creative strikers but let's face it if I had to pick who has the edge, I gotta go with Machida. Doing martial arts from a young age might save Machida in this one, its obvious his on the way out if he doesn't win this fight.
